Wo have received notice of ?hc
building of quite a number of new
chool houses UDdcr the act of the
iaat session of the legislature to on
fjourago adequate Behool buildings.
The comptroller general will, in a few
lays, send out another apportlDnment
if dispensary funds. The law pro
vides that Borne of this money may be
used for this purpose. This ls a great
opportunity for a community which
needs a new school building, It gives
i good opportunity also for several
communities to consolidate theil
.iohools.
Please let your trustees understand
hat local or special taxes may bo vot
ed after January 1st. There ought]
o be a great many such taxes voted
for next year. This ls the only plan
under tho law to replace the dispan
<ary funds In those counties which
wive or may vote out the dispensarlos.
Por the last two or three years the
iohools have been receiving fri m $200
000 to $250,000 from dispensary pro
uts. This amount exceeds either the
ooll tax or looal taxis Local tax
itlon is one of tho best ways to raise
chool revenues, because it require!
oeal Interest and enthusiasm. Most
)f the states raise tho great part of
.heir school funds by local taxati n.
While some districts have voted all
?he constitution allows them to vote,
/et loss than 20 per cent, of our school
.cvenuresaro raised In this way. Let
as agitate this question now so that
he people may be ready to vote by
January.
Allow mo again to call the atton
lon of teachers to the Teachers'
Reading circle. Progressive teaohers
mould keep studying, and lt will give
renewed zeal to study with other such
teachers in the township or county.

LINCOLN'S TACT.
Il?-.*v <lio President Won M Han?
abalee From aa Antagonist.
In thc spring of 1801 G oui ?o D.
Wiso of Virginia and two other young
aontuerners, ultu of whom stood six ,
feet four, were attending school in
Waebjn.rtou. The morning the news of \
the flrlug on Fort Sumter reached i
them they docldcd that it was their
duty to return at once to Richmond, !
their homo, and enlist lu thc southern
causo. As Mr. Lincoln wn? to give a .
public reception that uHrot, young :
Wiso proposed that they attend, to seo
what ?ort of man tho president really
was.
"No,?' said tho tall fellow. "I for ono
won't go near tho rascal."
"But," urged tho third youth, who ot
once fell lu with tho suggestion, "there
is going to. bo war, and Mr. Lincoln
will undoubtedly riso to groat promi
nence. We really owe it to ourselves
to know something about tho mau."
More abuse followed from tho tall
fellow.
"Now look here," broke In young
Wisc, after tho argument had gone on
for a spell, "Fred and I here are going
to that reception tonight, nud you aro
going with IIB."
The upshot of tho matter was that
tho three young mon went to tho re
ception and lined up with sovernl hun
dred others to greet President Lincoln.
Of the three friends the tull fellow
stood flvst in linc, with his hnuds held
resolutely behind lils back.
"I'll go," ho had finally said, "but I'll
no vcr shake hands with him."
Slowly tho threo southerners passed
up with tho lino until tho tall fellow
stood opposito the president. His two
friends waited breathlessly for the
expected or tho unexpected, they
scarcely knew which.
The president reached out his hand.
Tho tall fellow, with his bunds still bo
hind him, looked tho president straight
In tho oyo and with a proud toss of
the head passed on without taking tho
outstretched hand.
Across the sad face of tho president
flashed a look of surprise und Inquiry,
and then a merry twinkle leaped to his
eyes, ns he had divined tho causo of tho
?light,
"Just a moment, young mau," he
said, ns the tall fellow wus passing ou.
"How tall uro you?"
"I-I-I'm six feet four," stammered
tho youth, utterly astonished at the
question.
"I believe I can match you," returned
tho president. And thou and there,
before tho assembled throng, ho turned
back to back with tho southerner to de
termine which of tho two was the tall
er. Tho southerner outmatched tho
president.
"Young man, I can't match you," thc
president was forced to admit, "but,"
ho added, putting out his hand again
and smiling kindly Into tho eyes of tho
young follow, "I never let anybody tall
er than I am got by mo without shak
ing hands."
And tho southerner, completely over
come, took the extended hand. Nor did
ho over again speak Ul of Mr. Llucolu.

The steamer Tartar, which arrived
at?Vlotorla, B. 0 , on fest Wednesday
night from tho Orient, brought news
from Shanghai that the loss of Ufo
among the native of tho island at tho
mouth of tho Yangtse Uiver as a re
sult of tho typhoon at the beginning
of September was tremendous. Tho
North China Dairy Nows, of Shang
nal, says:
"To the east of Taraagmlng, two
Islands, one calling Yawoshwa, tbe
other Shihlou8ha, distant about twen
ty miles from Woosubf, have suffered
muon from tho typhoon, nearly all the
Inhabitants having been swept away.
Tho islands have only been inhabited
for a short time, comparatively speak
ing, as they aro of recent formatlou
and are not much above high water
mark. It ls reported that nearly 10,
000 people have beou drowned on these
two islands and the smaller Islands
adjacent. Tamagming itself bas not
suffered much, hoing well above the
high water making."
The Shanbal papers say that the
damage to the Canadian Paotflo Liner
Empress of Japan by the typhoon will
necessitate tho expenditure of 8100,000
for repairs. During thestom the steam
er Peohill, formerly the Kio Grande
du S fl, foundered near the mouth of
the Yangtse. Her crew ot 64 were sav

Own Your Own Hinno.
It is surprising tho amount of reut
a mau will pay, if he stops long enough
to figure lt out. Many young men who
marry and "settle down" and begin to
pay rent will be far better t ff In ten
yearsjlf they begin purohasng property
this year than if they continu > to pay
rent. Many of thom do not stop long
enough in their dally work to think of
a possible rainy day and years pt old
age, but go on spending the fruit of
their toll until the time comes when
they havo to step down and out to
make room for tho young men of the
future. Then comas tho old, old ques
tion. They are not prepared for an
emergency of thia kind, and they wish
that they had bought when they were
young and have a home of their own
when the the time of acquiring lt is
passed. Ninety-nine times out of a
hundred the property purchased in
creas s in value. Why not Ague th IP
out to your own satisfaction, make up
your mind and start at once to pre
pare a home, Where were you six,
eight, ten, or fifteen years ago and
what did you have. If you have paid
rent all these years you have your rent
receipts to show where your money
has gone, but where is tho home you
might have owned If yeti bad been
paying your money towards a home of
yt ur own. What will you haye them?
Will lt be a home of your own or t
bundle of rent receipts. All real es
tate has a value, and If purohasod at
this value the buyer oannot possibly
lose. Lor,k around you, If you aro an
old resident of this city, you know
about what certain pieces of property
sold for ten or fifteen years ago. What
are they worth today? We do not
need to answer. In the hlBtory of the
past you have many models, and all
b if ore you is an almost absolute cer
tainty that real estate valures will
continue to rise, with tho inorease of
population and tho natural demands
for residential and business locations.
Which do you prcfor, the comfort of
y ur own home or a package of rent
rocelpts, and live in the other fellow's
house. Why longer pay tribute to
Caesar? Why not be independent?
